Shelves: history, europe

This book provides an interesting hook to tell 900 years of European aristocratic history. Adultery with queens was far more sensational than the routine indiscretions of kings. It came in several different forms, from powerful ruling queens who openly took several lovers at a time to consorts who were beheaded for one (falsified) indiscretion. Over all, a worthy peek into a side of history that you don't often learn in high school. Eleanor Herman has a knack for catchy and imaginative depiction...more

Oh, there's just something about dirty laundry, especially when it's royal.

It's more of the same from Eleanor Herman, page after page of secret liasons and torrid affairs rampaging throughout European courts. It's a nice dip for the gossip in all of us.

However, if you read Sex With Kings, you'll probably recognize many of the anecdotes and instances cited--apparently as the king was screwing around, the queen didn't waste time either. Good for her.

Lots of courts were filled with intrigue and plo...more

Throughout history, queens have taken lovers, and their actions have often changed the course of history. This book details some of the most famous and influential cases of adultery and love affairs throughout history.

This was an absolutely fascinating book, well-written and with an engrossing subject matter. The author never gets bogged down with too many details, but still manages to convey the desperation of many of these unfortunate queens. The short vignettes allows the author to cover many...more

I have learned though, that while it may have been good to be the King (and even that's really debatable: The last King I read about was pretty much tortured into insanity by his tutors in their attempts to make him a 'real man') it was not good to be the Queen. Married off in your early te...more

The title sounds quite tawdry, but the book itself is far from a Harlequin Romance. It takes a look at what life was like for a queen, from Medieval Times through Queen Victoria’s reign. Most marriages were for political gain, where a daughter was bartered off to a husband that was disinterested, cruel, insane or homosexual. And a queen consort couldn’t necessarily distract herself from a loveless marriage through the opulence of court life - - castles were often cold, dark and rodent infested a...more

I hemmed and hawed over Eleanor Herman's "Sex with Kings", mainly because I really couldn't say much about historical accuracy without doing a ton of research. Or so I thought.

Or so I thought. Simply googling one of the queens featured in "Sex with the Queen" proved my suspicions of Herman's shoddy research and fact-bending correct. Then I looked at her bibliography, a detail I forgot in my last review, and... well.

The two stars here are, again, for Herman's nice prose and good selection. I definitely want to write down the names of the some of the more obscure women featured and research them further. Because I sure as hell don't trust Herman's word.

I already knew that Herman works around facts to get the juiciest story possible. She certainly did that in "Sex with Kings", making the much maligned Athenais de Montespan look far worse than she actually was. So I wasn't too surprised when I saw Anne Boleyn featured here, though Herman at least had the decency to mention that the queen was innocent. She did go on to give a portrayal of some vicious cold-hearted flirt who was mean to the man who "moved heaven and earth for her". Um, are we talking about the same Henry VIII here? He also kind of wanted any woman who could give him a son. Anne was simply smart enough (and lucky enough) to be in the right place at the right time, with all the right moves. He probably would have dumped Catherine of Aragon for a foreign princess if Anne hadn't shown up, but oh, Eleanor Herman doesn't miss a chance to dump on not so cute and cuddly women.

(I'm not even going to touch what she did with Princess Diana. Again.)

I raised an eyebrow at Herman's portrayal of Anne's social circle as a group of gay men, including her brother. She basically vomited up everything Retha Warnicke has said about Anne Boleyn. Warnicke has, of course, been criticized by nearly every Tudor scholar worth his or her salt and in particular Anne's definitive biographer, the later Eric Ives, who was, of course, barely cited here. Anne Boleyn's brother was in fact quite a womanizer, but WHATEVER HERMAN.

She also chose to somehow state that Marie Antoinette and Count Axel von Fersen had a physical affair though there's nothing to support that??? I mean, it could have happened--but the only thing we know of is an emotionally intimate attachment between the pair. And Marie was hardly repulsed by her husband, as they were good friends. Also, Herman makes this great leap of assuming some random documents were love letters between Marie and Fersen and... it's all so slipshod. The son Fersen apparently sired on Marie was actually noted to resemble the Bourbons, and I think Fraser promptly discounted any possibility of Fersen being the father due to dates not lining up. Amusingly enough, Flora Fraser, Antonia's daughter, is noted in Herman's bibliography. Antonia, THE Marie Antoinette biographer, is not.

Then Herman goes on to completely massacre the marriage of Nicholas and Alexandra Romanov, which was actually one of the happiest in royal history. I actually kind of laughed to read about Alexandra dominating Nicholas, when in fact they had a very Victorian marriage--husband in charge, wife in a supporting role. The idea that she had an affair with Rasputin has no basis beyond rumor and is actively offensive to her memory.

The above mentioned issues were my main problems. But then she got all these small details wrong: mentioning that Eleanor of Aquitaine (who Herman touts as her ancestress) had one daughter by her first husband when in fact she had two, for instance. I mean, it doesn't take much to correct mistakes like that.

No effort beyond looking for interesting women. No effort, a lot of judgment, and a TON of misogyny. Whatever, Eleanor Herman. Whatever.(less)

Sex with the Queen was an intriquing collection of historical facts and drama, told in a quick, witty and attention-grabbing dialogue.
The author spends just enough time (in a very few cases, just a bit too much time) on each queen or princess and their background, marriage, spouse and eventual lover(s). The writing is informative, but not dry, and with a good base explaination of what a marriage was made of in the days of arranged, political matches. These women were often married off to mad, di...more

"Sex with the Queen" is meant to be racy "airing of dirty laundry" read. Unfortunately the author seems to have foregone with an editor- the script lacks any sort of coherency, jumping from one era to another; one country to another.

This book was a seriously entertaining look at the love lives of queens, princesses, and other royal ladies. When marriages were arranged with politics and power in mind, most royal brides had no chance of falling in love with their betrothed. Indeed, many of their husbands might be insane, deformed, or retarded from such close guarding of the family bloodline, not to mention gay or involved with a mistress (or several) of their own.

They generally married young, knew nothing of sex or pregnancy, and were expected to spawn lots of kids. But some of these queens weren't content to just sit and embroider -- they ran straight into the arms of hot courtiers."-E.A. Solinas

This is actually a DNF for me :(
The format drove be crazy - everything seemed to be a "summary" - I kept waiting for the actual book to begin, but it never did.
There is, of course, a scarcity of information when it comes to the affairs of queens. Unlike Kings, Queens were expected to be virtuous, so their affairs were well hidden. Still, a good number of these accounts seem to be supposition of the time - an unreliable source in my opinion! Perhaps without using these stories Herman didn't have...more

I think I have found a new favorite book. In the follow-up book to Sex with Kings, we get a whirlwind tale through 900 years of European royalty, all told through the eyes of the queen’s bedroom. From Eleanor of Aquitaine to Princess Diana, from England to France to Germany to Russia, we go into the secret lives of some of the most famous women in history.
This book isn’t only about the love lives of queens (though it’s hard to think otherwise with the huge red SEX on the cover and a bare butt). The first third of the book is actually about what a queen/princess’ life really was like. Very few of these women’s lives were fairy tales. Most were pawned off to other countries to eradicate men’s debts or problems, lived in a foreign country, and had acquired difficult husbands.
So, as a woman, I of course have a problem with some things. The King was allowed to have as many mistresses as he desired; in fact, it was ideal that he didn’t love his wife. She was only there to produce heirs. On the other hand, if the Queen had even one lover, she could possibly be divorced, or both she and her lover could be imprisoned, tortured, or executed.
Some of these women went through lovers like I go through underwear. It was shocking at the number of men Catherine the Great bedded, even well into old age. Another woman of many lovers was Princess Diana, of whom the author is definitely NOT a fan of. Princess Di was always put in a bad light in this book, yet it is slightly refreshing after her rise to almost sainthood status after death.
One of the biggest points that I found was I need to expand myself out of English history a bit. There are definitely some interesting people and events elsewhere, especially in France. Affairs, beheadings, and general royalty-related drama are not just a specialization of sixteenth century England!
The stories are never too long, always short, sweet, and to the point. The only ones that are truly long are Anne Boleyn’s and Catherine the Great’s stories (but they’re both good ones!). Eleanor Herman definitely has a sense of humor and a knack for making history interesting. I’d recommend this book to people who aren’t even history buffs like me. Parts of it read like a gossip column and I read bits of it out loud to my roommates who got a kick out of it. Definitely recommend, especially for females. 5 stars!

This book felt like it was missing something. I'm not sure why, really. Maybe it's because, despite the assertion that we're dealing with "beloved" and "infamous" queens, the unfortunate fact is that very few women really made a lasting impact in the historical record, which means we know them less well than we know their respective kings — if we've heard of them at all —, so it's not quite as much fun to read about their private lives. Or maybe it's more that, unlike kings, who could conduct th...more

I am sorry to say that. Bad writing can make or break a non-fiction book, and in this case, it completely broke it. I couldn't even tell what I was reading -- was it a historical non-fiction book, a poorly written romance novel, or a smutty tabloid? Phrases akin to "she then writhed above him, biting his nipples" or "we can just imagine her pining after her the lover whose hands she could still feel upon her" or "we can just see their two bodies intertwined" do not cut it in a non-fiction book. You were not there, you cannot assume and it is not the kind of book genre that lets you "imagine." I want to KNOW, not IMAGINE when I read non-fiction (and this was definitely NOT a non-fiction novel a-la Capote or others, so I can't even defend it that way). This made me really mad, as personal "imaginings" happened A LOT. There was so much assumption and bad trash novel writing that it undermined all the hard historical research that clearly must have gone into this book. The author came off as a voyeuristic young girl fabricating details of private encounters, instead of a historian. Yes, I learned a lot about the lives of European queens and their lovers, I learned a lot about life at court, and about marriage laws, but in the end, I wanted it to kind of stop there. I can do lots of imagining on my own, I don't need to read two-thirds of a page and realize it is all made up smut from the author's point of view. The book also ends with a terrible taste in my mouth, with a very slanderous chapter about Princess Diana, which makes her out to be a (really) awful woman. Regardless if this is true or not, much of the chapter had NOTHING to do with the topic of the book, which is SEX WITH QUEENS. Maybe her death is still recent enough in collective memory for me to be okay with slandering someone and airing out the dirty laundry of a woman whose family is still all alive. I know part of this book is aimed at exactly that, airing out dirty royal laundry, so maybe someone else can come up with another version that is about the reality of royal affairs and not smutty details.(less)

About Eleanor Herman

New York Times best-seller Eleanor Herman offers a rare combination of skills for a historian – her research is intensely scholarly, yet she writes the story in a colorful, witty manner.

“History is so fascinating that it never has to be presented in a boring way,” she explains. “These were flesh and blood people, just like you and me, facing war and plague, falling in love, living among splendid art and gut-wrenching poverty. Sometimes people ask me if I plan to write novels. And I say, with all the things that really happened, who needs to make stuff up?”

Reviewers agree. The New York Times Book Review wrote that Eleanor writes “enlightening social history that is great fun to read.”

The Boston Globe wrote, “Herman’s writing sparkles off the pages.”

The Washington Post called Eleanor Herman “A lot more fun than Danielle Steel or Dan Brown.”

Eleanor calls herself a “Sherlock Holmes of history.” To research Mistress of the Vatican, she traveled to Italy hot on the trail of documents related to Olimpia Maidalchini and Pope Innocent X, and found a cache of their letters. She visited Olimpia’s palace in the Piazza Navona in Rome (now the Embassy of Brazil), her villa outside the city (now used by the prime minister of Italy for entertainment), and the papal palace of the Quirinale, (now the ceremonial palace of the President of Italy.) She visited Olimpia’s birthplace in Viterbo, 50 miles north of Rome, her tomb in San Martino, the town she built for dowerless girls, and her country hunting lodge, gracefully falling to ruin.

Eleanor read countless diplomatic dispatches, letters, and contemporary records on life in seventeenth century Rome. Her fluency in French, German, and Italian has been invaluable in researching sources that have never been translated into English.
Mistress of the Vatican is Eleanor’s third book. Sex with Kings – a history of royal mistresses – appeared in 2004, and Sex with the Queen – a history of queens who took lovers – was published in 2006. Eleanor is a frequent commentator in the media about royal scandals, and has hosted episodes for The History Channel’s show, Lost Worlds, to air in the 2007-8 season. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Eleanor graduated with a degree in journalism from Towson University, studied languages in Europe, and for thirteen years worked for NATO’S Nations & Partners for Peace magazine. She is married and lives in McLean, VA.(less)
